COVID-19 outbreak has caused governments worldwide to shut down schools indefinitely, making it impossible for CAIE to hold examinations in May and June.

The statement further reads:

CAIE’s top priority is to guarantee the wellbeing of our students and teachers and ensure fairness for all our students. Therefore, CAIE will grade students based on the knowledge and skills they have acquired in their programs of study. This will ensure students are not disadvantaged as a result of these extraordinary circumstances.
